Waterproof surface, developed to protect vertical parameters of all kind porous or semi-porous surfaces. For its hydrophobic effect is an excellent repellent of storm water, hindering the penetration of moisture from the capillary of the surface treated.
HIDRO-F, converts the vertical surfaces in auto-cleanable and hinder the formation of lichens and moss in the less sunny zones. The application of HIDRO-F on the surfaces before painted, guarantees a perfect waterproofing and saves the consumption of the paint till a 20%.The application of HIDRO-F is an essential result in all types of constructions and works where is present the moistures problems and it prevents from efflorescence, micro-crumbles, pollution, prematurely aged, chemical attacks, etc.
Properties
Avoid the penetration of moisturise, efflorescence and moss.
Provides a repellent dust effect, moreover of being auto-cleanable.
Prolongs the life of the surfaces painted, and protects from erosion.
Perfectly colourless, does not modify the surface aspect, respects the natural exudation of materials.
Resistant to chemical aggressions, its alkaline character exerts a certain protection against the development of moos.

Uses

It’s adequate for the waterproofing and water-repellent of all materials used in the construction work, as long as it does not contain any cracks or fissures: Adequate as a waterproof and water-repellent on concrete surfaces, mortars, natural or artificial stone, manufacture work, bricks, blocks, fibrocement, tiles, etc.

Surface preparation

The surface must be dry and without dust. The efflorescence must be eliminated before the application of HIDRO-F.
Do not apply in temperatures inferiors to 5ºC.

Instructions for use

HIDRO-F must be applied pure, as it is presented, through a brush, roller, and paintbrush, airless or similar. Its necessary to apply one abundant coat and regularly, the application must be carry out from bottom to top, in order to avoid bad impregnations.

Consumption

Depending on the capacity of absorption, roughness and the way applied 1 litre of HIDRO-F covers 3 to 5m 2. In order to determinate the exact consumption; previously test the surface to treat.
Tests absorptions on different surfaces:
Application on bricks and face bricks: 4m2/l
Application on concrete: 3m2/l
Application on mortars: 3m2/l
Application on natural stones: 5m2/l
Application on fibrocement: 5m2/l
Application on artificial stone: 2m2/l

Colours

Colourless

Packing and storing

HIDRO-F is presented in hermetic barrels, according to EC packing and storing directives for chemical products.

Hygiene and safety
